Resolute
In this bed I'm resolved to stay
blankets covered
and your warm bare body beside me
half hidden in sheets
and half blinded by sun.
Bright skin and light eyes
dancing flecks on chick coloured hair
and pausing smirk lighting demons
and devils on fire.
Why food
and how shelter
if I'm in arms so warm?
I'm resolute to stay
even if just another day
before the world winds its way in
and we part for just a few.
Oh bed of twine grasping
and sleep bliss holding me down
how you've become physical
and material
in a shape of man.
-Matthew Koutzun

I'm glad I read your poem now; I needed the warm feeling from it today.
Happy new year, if only before the world winds its way in. I'm looking forward to another year of poems.
